Online Vehicle History Database Opens for Consumers
On Jan. 30, 2009 at 9 a.m., two AAMVA, and DOJ-approved, vendors began making available to consumers the online vehicle histories of over 70 percent of the nation's registered vehicle population. This online network, known as the National Motor Vehicle Title and Information System (NMVTIS), will help protect consumers from automobile fraud crimes and provide law enforcement with 21st century tools to investigate theft, and other vehicle-related crimes.
For the first time, consumers have real-time access to a vehicle’s brand history, odometer data and basic vehicle information. Consumers will be redirected to the current state of record to access the full title record if available.
As the NMVTIS operator, AAMVA has worked collaboratively with the U.S. Department of Justice, who has oversight over this system, to bring this consumer-friendly technology to fruition.
